Bullet Vision: Watch “Rambo” and “Cop Land” tonight

Tonight on IFC we kick off a week-long extravaganza of the best in bullet-fueled action movies as we amp up to the two-night event of our brand new mini-series Bullet in the Face, which premieres on August 16th at 10 p.m. ET. The show which sprang from the mind of Sledge Hammer! creator Alan Spencer stars Max Williams as Gunter Vogler a sociopathic criminal-turned-cop stuck in between two warring crime lords played by Eddie Izzard and Eric Roberts. It’s a viciously funny, hilarious and violent show that is airing over two nights from August 16-17th.

What better way to welcome the show to our channel than with a red carpet of thrillers where the bullets fly, the language is foul, and violence is absolutely required? While you know that we know comedy, as you can tell by our shows Portlandia, Comedy Bang! Bang! and Bunk, but we also know a thing or two about action. To prove that, we are starting our action-packed week off right with a Sylvester Stallone double feature of “Rambo” and “Cop Land” beginning at 8/7c. Then all this week, look for Bullet Vision features such as “Fight Club” and “Sin City” all leading up to Bullet in the Face on August 16th at 10/9c.

Here’s the trailer for “Cop Land,” where Sly Stallone plays a seemingly dull-witted sheriff who surprises the NYPD institution when he starts working with an Internal Affairs officer (Robert De Niro) to solve a suspicious suicide. The film also stars Harvey Keitel, Ray Liotta and Michael Rapaport as cops covering up a crime.

Here’s one of the best scenes from “Rambo,” just in case you need a reminder of how incredibly kick ass this movie is before you tune in at 8 p.m. ET:

The Best Of The Last

The end is near. In mere days Portlandia wraps up its final season, and oh what a season it’s been. Lucky for you, you can watch the entire season right now right here and on the IFC app, including this free episode courtesy of Subaru.

But now, let’s take a moment to look back at some of the new classics Fred and Carrie have so thoughtfully bestowed upon us. (We’ll be looking back through tear-blurred eyes, but you do you.)

Couples Dinner

It’s not that being single sucks, it’s that you suck if you’re single.

Cancel it!

A sketch for anyone who has cancelled more appointments than they’ve kept. Which is everyone.

Forgotten America

This one’s a “Serial” killer…everything both right and wrong about true crime podcasts.

Wedding Planners

The only bad wedding is a boring wedding.

Disaster Hut

It’s only the end of the world if your doomsday kit doesn’t include rosé.

Your Portlandia Personality Test

Carrie and Fred understand that although we have so much in common, we’re each so beautifully unique and different. To help us navigate those differences, Portlandia has found an easy and honest way to embrace our special selves in the form of a progressive new traffic system: a specific lane for every kind of driver. It’s all in honor of the show’s 8th and final season, and it’s all presented by Subaru.

Ready to find out who you really are? Match your personality to a lane and hop on the expressway to self-understanding.

Lane 10: Trucks Piled With Junk

Your junk is falling out of your trunk. Shake a tail light, people — this lane is for you.

Lane 33: Twins

You’re like a Gemini, but waaaay more pedestrian. Maybe you and a friend just wear the same outfits a lot. Who cares, it’s just twinning enough to make you feel special.

Lane 27: Broken Windows

Bad luck follows you around and everyone knows it. Your proverbial seat is always damp from proverbial rain. Is this the universe telling you to swallow your pride? Yes.

Lane 69: Filthy Cars

You’re all about convenience. Getting your car washed while you drive is a no-brainer.

Lane 43: Newly Divorced Singles

It’s been a while since you’ve driven alone, and you don’t know the rules of the road anymore. What’s too fast? What’s too slow? Are you sending the right signals? Don’t worry, the breakdown lane is nearby if you need it.

Still can’t find a lane to match your personality? Check out all the videos here. And see the final season of Portlandia this spring on IFC.
